The fix, added in https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11096 wasn't sufficient enough. It did handle the case when the same query path / table was joined twice and caused incorrect `totalDocs`, but it didn't handle the case when `JOIN` returns more than 1 rows, which 2 added new assertions here check. Now, we use `COUNT(*)` only if we don't have any joined tables. If we do, instead of using `SELECT (COUNT DISTINCT id)` which as described in the previous PR is _very slow_ for large tables, we use the following query: ```sql SELECT COUNT(1) OVER() as count -- window function, executes for each row only once FROM users LEFT JOIN -- ... here additional rows are added WHERE -- ... GROUP BY users.id -- this ensures we're counting only users without additional rows from joins. LIMIT 1 -- Since COUNT(1) OVER() executes and resolves before doing LIMIT, we can safely apply LIMIT 1. ```
